I broke Radarr by being glutenous

[sfleck]

Went a little overboard adding movies

Running Radarr on Unraid 6.12

 

Filled up the cache drive
Radarr choked

 

So i deleted everything in the queue, paused NZBGet from downloading anything

 

The cache drive has returned to normal with free space

 

However, Radarr still is messed up. In fact doesn't even show up in docker anymore.
Oddly I can open the web interface but i get the error:

unable to open database file unable to open database
fileVersion 5.14.0.9383

 

not sure what to try first so i don't destroy anything

I would suggest posting in the support thread for whatever docker image you are using.

 

Also, IMO there isn’t any need to use cache for your media. Once you get your issues fixed you should consider changing the share to use the array only. Importing videos may be a little slower but it’s all happening automatically in the background so does it really matter?

OK, will make that change after it's fixed.

I posted here after seeing others post about Radarr in general forum and get help.
I'll post in the radarr forum

 

Thanks!

Actually, it wouldn't even be slower, if set up as this:

 

Set the Download directory for NZBGet to be on a NVMe/SSD drive.

Set your Media directory to be array only.

Download speed will be the same.  Once file is completed, Radarr/Sonarr will move files from Download (SSD) to Media (Array).

 

By having Media share using cache, what ends up happening is files download to Downloads (SSD) to Media (SSD cache) then to Media (Array) when the mover finally moves.  Do it the way I suggest above, you can also avoid completely filling up your cache (as long as you download at a moderately fast speed).
